Today, we go back in time to 2015. There, we find a group of bulls inspecting the haying process going on in their pasture.

Fall calving season means a whole lot of Shorthorn and Shorthorn cross calves… and a bunch of different personalities.
Which would you choose?

Cow Highlight: 1B

Every once in awhile you get a cow with a little extra personality. For us, that’s Tallulah (1B) or as we call her, Telly. She has a little different background than the majority of the cattle on our operation. She was born on our Fallon ranch and was shown as an FFA project.

Apparently, she decided that being the star of the show ring transferred over to star of the pasture. You are never alone for long feeding, fixing fence, or any other work if you’re in her pasture. She will come find you. And, promptly plant herself where you have have to pay the “Telly Toll”, a scratch on the tailhead or brisket before she will meander off.

On a more serious note, cows like Telly have a way of making bad days less horrible. There’s something about a friendly cow that can turn your day around. It’s one of the reasons we’ll always raise Shorthorns. Their docility is hard to beat.

An animal’s genetic makeup proves there’s a lot going on under their hide. Although we raise predominantly purebred Shorthorn cattle, the commercial herd tends to show the diversity in cattle genetics, and we always look forward to what calves will look like based on their parents.

One of the things we value heavily in our Native Shorthorns is maternal ability. We want cows that are fertile, functional, attentive mothers and capable of raising a calf in a real-world beef operation.

This little heifer unfortunately arrived early. Early enough that her dam had not yet gone through the hormonal and cellular process that occurs around calving. This means there simply wasn't a normal milk supply established yet.

Fortunately, we had a cow who had recently lost her calf, and she accepted this little calf with very little prompting.

We're pretty grateful for a cow with the maternal instinct to step up when given the opportunity.
This is exactly the kind of functional cow we want in our herd.

Calf numbers are growing in the fall calving herd. The little ones are slowly figuring out pasture moves.

Of the 3 little premie calves that live in the garage during the night, this girl is the only one able to handle today’s chilly weather.
To look at her, you wouldn’t even know she’s premature. She was glad to run in the sun, and her Shorthorn dam was happy to have her back again.

We’ve gotten so much rain this fall. I think this little calf has the right idea. Stay hunkered down, try to stay dry, and keep the snacks coming!

One of three bull calves born this fall. Spring was bull heavy for us, but the heifers are dominating fall calving season by a lot. There’s still a lot of cows left to go, so we’ll see if they stay ahead in the end.
